Consider east as positive x-axis, north ...

Consider east as positive x-axis, north as positive y-axis and vertically upward direction as z-axis. A helicopter first rises up to an altitide of `100 m` than flies straight in north `500 m` and then suddenly takes a turn towards east and travels `1000 m` east. What is position vector of helicopter ? (Take starting point as origin)

A

`1000 hat(i)-500 hat(j)+100 hat(k)`

B

`1000 hat(i)+500 hat(j)-100hat(k)`

C

`1000 hat(i)+ 500hat(j)+100 hat(k)`

D

`-1000 hat(i)+500 hat(j)+100 hat(k)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
